AC OUTPUT LOAD CONNECTIONS 

 

Connect the load to the front panel AC output SCHUKO socket. A universal adapter is   
(P/N 107-771-007) provided to suite most needs. Other output adaptors are available 
and the end user should contact the Behlman sales department for specific needs. Units 
ordered with the TB option are provided with an additional set of compression type 
terminals on the rear panel. These terminals are wired in parallel with the front panel 
SCHUKO socket. Note that this device produces output voltages that are hazardous 
under normal conditions. The end user must make sure that all output wiring is installed 
in a way that prevents inadvertent contact with operating personnel. 

The use of 

warning labels is highly recommended.

  

 

 

 

The output circuit of this device is transformer coupled and floating with respect to the 
input line. Either side of the AC output may be tied to protective earth or other potential. 
The maximum continuous floating voltage between either output terminal and ground is 
500VDC. Refer to figure 2-1 for an illustration of typical output circuit configurations.
